Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. It is often caused by high pressure inside the eye, which can damage the optic nerve over time if not treated. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent vision loss from glaucoma.

You stupid asses be using answers for your homework!

Secondary open angle glaucoma (including pigment dispersion, pseudoexfoliation). Another differential is Ocular hypertension.

For the most part, no. Dogs with allergies tend to have skin and gastrointestinal tract issues, not the upper respiratory signs shown by humans. Therefore, giving a dog Benadryl to reduce allergy-related inflammation is probably not going to do anything to resolve an eye issue. However, a veterinarian who has examined your dog and determined the cause of the eye issue may prescribe Benadryl for your dog.

Drinking alcohol does not seem to be related to the development of glaucoma. It is most common in people who have a family history of glaucoma, people who are nearsighted or diabetic, people suffering from other diseases of the eye and those who smoke.

First of all you have misspelled symptoms.

Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, which is what I am assuming you are inquiring about, is the most common type of glaucoma. Unfortunately, there are no symptoms. This is why it is important for people to get their eyes checked on a regular basis especially if you are over the age of 40 and have a positive family history of glaucoma. Optometrists can detect glaucoma through 3 main checks.

First of all a field of vision check would reveal any glaucomatous field defects, usually starting at the nasal field and progressing in an arcuate pattern to the optic disc. If left untreated the eventual consequence of this would be tunnel vision.

Secondly, an assessment of the optic nerve head can reveal glaucoma. If the cup appears very deep or the optic nerves are asymmetrical between the 2 eyes then this can be indicative of glaucoma. A pale disc is also a sign. As is thinning of the neuro-retinal rim and splinter haemorrhages at the disc, usually in the inferior nasal quadrant.

Finally, an optometrist will check the intra-ocular pressure of the eyes. Asymmetry of more than 5mmHg or a value over 21mmHg can suggest glaucoma. This is the least reliable measure of glaucoma detection as you can have normal IOPs yet suffer from glaucoma.

The treatment of Glaucoma is to reduce the eye pressure (IOP). Eye drops and surgery would be effective for this purpose.

Glaucoma medications are either oral or topical. Topical medications such as eye drops, eye ointments, or inserts work to reduce IOP either by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye or by reducing the amount of fluid produced by the eye. These include:

- Miotics increase the outflow of fluid. These include Isopto® Carpine, Ocusert®, Pilocar®, and Pilopine®.

- Epinephrines increase the outflow of fluid. These include Epifrin® and Propine®.

- Beta-blockers reduce the amount of fluid. These include Betagan®, Betimol®, Betoptic®, Ocupress®, Optipranalol®, and Timoptic®.

Glaucoma is an eye condition in which the major nerve is damaged over time. This can greatly affect eyesight.

marijuana normally can be detected up to 28 days after smoking or eating but beware if your getting a hair folicle drug test these can go back as far as 6 months

yes it can stay far far away from it!

Although it seems they are in fact hereditary, one can not pass cancer nor diabetes thru genetics.

You would do yourself a good deed by calling your eye doctor. Not sure if you mean you see a halo looking circle or dark small spot that moves when you look at a white background. It's probably floaters if it seems to move around when you try to look at it. They say you shouldn't try to focus on it.

Suffering from, but I dont know the case. Make a sentence.

Glaucoma occurs if the aqueous humor is not removed rapidly enough or if it is made too rapidly, causing pressure to build-up. The high pressure distorts the shape of the optic nerve and destroys the nerve.

I lost nearly 3/4 of my hair. Fluocinolone topical was the 4th topical I was prescribed. I used it for about a week before the hair loss started. By the time the doctor figured out it was the medicine the damage was already done. They switched me to a different topical steroid and the hair loss stopped. I had waist length blond wavy hair.

Laser peripheral iridotomy makes an opening in the iris allowing the fluid to drain, argon laser trabeculoplasty is aimed at the fluid channel opening to help the drainage system function.

One of the leading causes of blindness in the US, glaucoma results from a group of eye conditions which causes optic nerve damage due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye.

Drinking alcohol does not seem to be related to the development of glaucoma. It is most common in people who have a family history of glaucoma, people who are nearsighted or diabetic, people suffering from other diseases of the eye and those who smoke.
